I've noticed lately that my max XP for camping is 320. That's about 300 less then what I use to get. I also notice that when people visit my camp and sit there for over 10 minutes, I still only get 320 maximum XP. **edit**?? I'm only about 5000 away from attaining Survival IV. I know they made changes to camping in the last patch...but for me not to gain XP when people visit the camp is stupid.

What camp are you using? I've been getting 600+ for 15min using the second camp (improved?)

Second camp is "multiperson". I have had, however, no trouble gaining xp with camps, and in fact, my xp rate has been much much higher since the patch.

The key is using a camp as part of the normal process of going out there and killing things. Namely, use your camp to heal wounds - every 4 or 5 minutes your camp will heal 10 wound points from every stat, and the more that gets healed, the more xp you will get. I've gotten 480 xp after 5 minutes before (when I had damage to every stat).

And, if nothing else, disband your camp, take the xp you're getting, and set up a new camp. I like having the caps go in after a very short time compared to the max length of the camp, because it means that macroing is far less viable.

Is that with or without it healing wounds?

In my experience, I used to get 640 and 820 exp for the first two types of camps, (single, multi respectively).

Now sofar I have gotten 300 and 480 respectively for them.

Something else I noticed is when using a multiperson camp, if it stays up for an hour it poofs and gives you NO exp. I was sampling resources and healing wounds while I waited for my Sludge Panther to heal his 8000 HAM. Also I was healing my wounds from a bad login problem. (where I was incapped 3 or more times while waiting for the game to load)

Yeah, limit for Basic Camp is 320, for Multiperson 627 I think. Also, be aware it looks like if you're AFK too long (maybe 30 min. in my case) you get booted out to the SWG character select screen; if you were in camp, you end up with no XP. Sure wish I'd skilled up Survival earlier. This game has gotten significantly less fun in the last week, so this may all be a moot point soon. I'd love to stay and enjoy it, but the powers behind the game seem determined to frustrate that desire.

Guys,

I believe that what has happened is that the lower camps have had their caps reduced, but they can XP much faster.

You'll hit the max after about 5-8 minutes now, instead of 15.

I can get 1000 XP off of a Field Base in 6 minutes now. I was waiting 45 minutes to get 1200 before.
